Tron is heading to the Magic Kingdom. Scheduled to open on April 4, 2023, TRON Lightcycle Run will be one of the fastest coasters at any Disney theme park in the world. Before the attraction officially opens, cast members will be the first to enter the Grid during special previews. Plus there will be preview opportunities coming for guests too, including Annual Passholders and eligible Disney Vacation Club Members.
What is Tron?
In 1982, Disney made filmmaking history with TRON, the first production of its kind to mix live action with computer-generated visuals and backlit animation. This iconic film went on to inspire video games, comic books, an animated series, and the 2010 sequel TRON: Legacy as well as this new Disney theme park attraction.
Where is the Tron ride at Disney World?
The new Lightcycle Run is located right next to Space Mountain in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom. And sits behind the Tomorrowland speedway. It is tucked back behind the train tracks and will be accessed from a short pathway by Space Mountain. If you want to check out its building progress you can view it from the People Moved attraction in Tomorrowland.
What to Expect on Tron Lightcycle Run
Lean forward into the ultimate race of survival! No seriously, the seats on this vehicle have you leaning forward like you are on a high-speed motorcycle chase. Leave the real world behind and join Team Blue in an epic quest across the Grid the dark, computerized world with no horizons from TRON. Here, there’s no limit to the excitement.
Climb aboard your very own Lightcycle and take off on a high-speed adventure, racing against the Grid’s most menacing Programs. Surge past your fierce opponents as you attempt to cross through 8 Energy Gates and secure your team’s victory so you can survive to race another day.
How fast does the Tron ride Go?
If you have a need for speed this is your roller coaster! At top speeds of 60 miles per hour, Tron Lightcycle Run will be one of the fastest coasters at any Disney theme park in the world.
I have been visiting the parks annually since my parents first brought me at just a year old. Recently I was able to fulfill my life long dream of being a Florida local and moved from the wintery Northeast to the sunshine and fun of central Florida. Now I am hoping to share my Disney knowledge with you so you can have the best vacation possible!
